Advances in technology have rapidly changed the way we treat ophthalmic diseases, especially with the development of new biomaterials used as prosthetics, for drug delivery devices, or to regenerate tissue.
Bridging the gap between biomaterials scientists and ophthalmologists, this book includes overviews of devices and cutting-edge research on current and future strategies to treat acute and chronic diseases in the eye.
Edited by leaders in the field, the book provides perspectives for both biomaterials scientists and ophthalmologists. Biomaterials scientists are given a background to the challenges in ophthalmology that advanced materials could solve. Ophthalmologists are provided a background on materials to enable them to better understand the devices they are using and their advantages and challenges. All readers are provided with a critical review of the current and future state of devices that are being used or are under development in devices, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery.
This book is for those working in biomaterials science, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, and clinicians specialising in ophthalmology, as well as those working in polymer science-based medical technologies.
